The good people of the western part of
Newton county had a large Sunday School
pic nic at Cora, on last Friday. Several
Sabbath schools were present and took

was enjoyed.

The Gainesville Eagle and Press claims
that the horse upon which Gen. Packen:

New Orleans, on the 8th of January, 1815,
was subsequently purchased by a gentle
man named Bird, living on the Chatta
hoochee river, in Hall county, near Gaines¬
ville. where the horse died in 1830. He
was said to have been a pure white Arab
ian steed, and was brought from India to
England and thence to New Orleans by
the famous English general. The Star
does not pretend to vouch for the correct¬
ness of the story, but we do remember
having heard a story about Gen. Jack¬

Killed by the Cars.
On last Saturday night, the 4th of July, Mr.
John \V. Treadwell, of Conyers, was run over
by the down through freight train, and instantly
killed, at a point between Yellow river and Con¬
yers known as Richardson's Crossing It IS
thought he had sat down on the track to rest and
had fallen asleep, when the engine §tyi;ck him.
Mr. Treadwell gra* about 25 q, years of age,
and was married. He had been in Covington
during Saturday, and after starting home, he
stopped with a party and assisted in seining in
Yellow river for several hours before continuing
on his way home. It is said he was not drank,
but it is thought he simply sat down on tla
track to rest, when he fell asleep and was struck
by the engine and killed. His body was badly
mangled.
The Survey Cempleted to Monticrllo.
On Saturday night Col. B. \V. Frobel, with
his corps of engineers, returned from Monticel¬
lo, Jasper county, having completed the survey
of the line for the Covington and Macon R. R.
to that place. They commenced at the mouth
of the Alcova river, where they had previously
purveyed from Covington, and followed the Oc
mulgee to the shoals below Key’s ferry, when
they deflected to the left, running directly to
Monti cello. \Ve are informed the route
from the river to Monticello is a very good one,
and that the line is highly satisfactory. They
reached Monticello on Thursday evening, and had
no difficulty in getting a good line into town. The
people all along the route were highly delighted
at the prospect of getting a railroad, and turned
out in large numbers to welcome the engineering
party, and to give them all the information anti
encouragement they could. They promised
the right of way, and every aid in their power.
At Monticello a perfect ovation awaited the
arrival of the engineering party. The mayor
and council held a ineating and generously gave
them the right of way through town, by
any route they chose, and tendered them a beau¬
tiful and centrally located lot for a depot site. A
large mass meeting of the citizens was after¬
wards held in the court house, and the action of
the mayor and council unanimously endor.ed and
ratified.
Col. Frobel was highly delighted with his en¬
thusiastic reception by the people all along the
route, and especially by the citizens of Monti,
cello. They will give every aid in their power
toward the building of this road, as they want it
very much.
\Ye were further informed that the enthus¬
iasm about Monticello over the building of the
road from Covington to that place was so great
that even the,negroes had caught the inspiration,
and held a large public meeting, at which they
pledged themselves to grade a* large section this
side of Monticello. They have also called anoth¬
er meeting at Monticello, for next Saturday,
which is expected to be the largest meeting of
colore3 people ever held in that town, when they
will pledge themselves to still greater effort ia
behalf of the new railroad.
\Ve learn the engineers hav e now gone to some
where , they , have short line i
point in Tennessee, a ;
to survey, and when that is finished, which will ;
be in a very few days, they are expected t0 rc "
turn here and make a survey of the line for the
Covington and North Georgia R. R., from Cov
ington to Gainesville, or some other point oil the
R. & D. road. We learn it isthepurpose of the
management of this company to begin work at
Covington at as early a day as possible, and build
north and south from this point.
In this connection we desire to remind the peo¬
ple of Covington that it is time we were taking
the proper steps to determine the location of the
depot in our city. It should be located at the
most convenient point to the business part of
town, without interfering with the business, or
being in the way. This is a matter for us to de
termine for ourselves, and the matter ought to
be settled at once. It may be too late when the
engineers return, and commence locating the
line through town. They will not wait on us
f
but may locate it to suit themselves. We must
agree among ourselves as to where it should be
located. In order to do this, a public meeting
of our business men and citizens should be held,
and expression given to the various yieys upon
(he subject.
The honor won by our young townsman, Mr.
M. L. Brittain, in having awarded to him the
“Reppard medal for excellence in Greek,” at the
recent small distinction. commencement at Emory college, was no
noted for Eight members, of a class
its scholarship and general merit, were
so near equal in their standing as to require a
special competitive examination to determine the
successful man. We rejoice in the good fortune
of our young friend from two considerations.—
First, on account of personal merit, for none are
Covington more deserving ; and, secondly, from the fact,
is greatly honored 14 the success of
Mr. Brittain. That he may continue tu win dis¬
traction, is our earnest wish.
The old veterans of the gallant 18th
Georgia regiment will hold their annual

What is the Cause.
Editors, as a tide, rarely ever agree, and
consequently are continually at loggerheads__
They will take up the same subject and discuss
it in their columns, give it a thorough analyz¬
ing, show up all lb* p,lints, and if you will
take their articles and compare them, there will
always be some point of disagreement. There
are, of course, exceptions to 'his as well as to
other general rules, and we propose to give an
instance where three Georgia editors are unan¬
imously of the same opinion.
The editor of the Southern World, publish¬
ed in Atlanta, says : “I know the proprietors
af Bradfield’s Female Regulator, and can vouch
for their high standing in this community. 1
also, from my own knowledge, can testify that
it is 4 great boon to woman, with no superior,
and every lady ought to send for and read their
book on female diseases which they mail free.”
Tit; editor of the Milledgeville Chronicle
says he considers Bradfield’s Female Regulator
the greatest blessing ever discovered for suffer¬
ing woman ; says he knows of six ladies in his
community who have been cured sound and
well by its use, and he would advise every suf.
fering woman to use it.
From the editor of the Gainesville Eagle :
“I consider Bradfield’s Female Regulator the
best medicine ever compounded and offered to
the public for the diseases for which it is recom¬
mended. I am well acquainted with a lady
who never had any health until site commenc¬
ed usiqg it. It gave her immediate relief,
and the best froiq fif that health. time I until now she has enjoyed
can say with hearty good
will, "‘God-speed Dr. Bradfield in the sale of
his never-failing Female Regulator !
